Last weekend I visited a friend and we played puzzle chess! To play, you pick a small puzzle (we used 100 pieces) and you build the border together and lay out all the other pieces. Then you start a chess clock, which you can get on your phone, and take turns putting one piece into the puzzle. Once you have placed your piece, you tap the clock to start the other person’s time. Whoever has the most time left when the puzzle is done is the winner!
We played twice and I won both times, although by less than a minute each time. The first puzzle we did was USA Map from Ceaco. It was an easy one and good quality.
The second puzzle we did was Diverse Underwater World from Ransunn. It was more difficult but still pretty easy but the quality was worse. The pieces had a grainy feel and were hard to fit together.
This was my first time getting to play puzzle chess and I really enjoyed it. I forgot how competitive I can be!
